COACHINGWarren Belin's first year as Carolina's linebackers coach in 2011 was filled with challenges as injuries hit the position hard, losing starters Jon Beason and Thomas Davis in the first two games. Attrition continued at the position throughout the season as the Panthers started eight different linebackers. But James Anderson remained a constant and thrived, starting all 16 games and setting a team record with 174 tackles under Belin's tutelage.

He also tutored linebackers at Cornell in 1991 and 1993-94 and at East Tennessee State in 1992 prior to overseeing the defensive line at William & Mary in 1995 and linebackers in 1996.
